Seek God Early

Psalms 143:8 (NIV) Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love, for I have put my trust in you.

How sweet the early hours of the morning are when God summons us out of our sleep to rise and be alone with Him. God wants us to listen, be still, study, pray, and listen some more before the crowded activities of the day engulf our attention. We don’t have to hear anything audible to know that God is communing with us on a spiritual level. He has a way about Him that is too great for us to pass up for the want of more sleep. He may or may not return us to our slumber when we’re through. But it won’t even matter, because to seek God early in the tranquil quiet of a dark morning is to be empowered by the only Source that can help us through anything the day may present to us. That is – Love.
